Over the past 10 months over 7,500 cars have been listed on the QatarLiving.com Classifieds. We've mined the data to bring you a list of the Most Popular Cars in Qatar.

This data is provided as is and only reflects user listings to Qatar Living. It is not indicative of new car sales, reliability and has not been normalised in any matter.

I can't believe it! ...Honda is more popular than Toyota?
hotfilipino4u said
New Car Sales will speak well of Popularity ...Here, Toyota and Honda are indeed popular, but it could mean that Cadillac is the best car since people never sell their car immediately.
These are Pre-owned cars, right? Meaning, many people sell Toyota's and Honda's to find for a better one.
Well, that's how i interpret the data.
I think the title can also be
"Most Popularly Changed Cars in Doha."
i remember seeing thousands of Tiida's in the streets last year, then all of a sudden i can only count them with my fingers. This year Camry became popular because i could see it everywhere i look in the street. Ey-yo! I saw another one just now in my office window.
For me, Popularity can be best judged by taking into account the New Car Sales. In 2007, Toyota was No. 1 and GM was No.2.
I think these two are the most popular. Considering that we have thousands of Land Cruisers, GMCs, and HUMMERs in Doha!

Qatari - Thanks for the ...Qatari - Thanks for the infograph. I have to disagree with your intepretation though. Honda being the most listed car does not mean it's the most popular. What if everyone who bought a Honda regretted their decision and wanted to sell it? LOL
Anyway, in terms of sales and resale value, I know for a fact that Toyota is tops in Qatar, followed by Nissan and then Honda.
liveinqatar said
however you look at it.. ...The thing is there are more honda in the market than can be sold or is for sale.. if there is less number of cadillic etc.. there will be less number of these cars for sale ..
Whatever it is I can say only one thing,.. If you have driven a HONDA you wouldn't go for Toyota or Nissan for sure..
Honda has class.. baby ....class..
casanova said
well i bought a car in 2007, ...well i bought a car in 2007, i had a choice to go for camry or Accord... damn ... i even didnt give it a thought and bought Honda...
Well .. for me Nothing like Honda...and i'm happy and satisfied with the car and the customer care...

Honda after sales service ...is the BEST among the rest. lessthan 30mins for a regular service. I dont even have to leave the service station. ill just bring in my Honda's.... read some magazine and khalas, 30 mins up and my Honda is ready to go. You cant have this kind of service with Toyota.

If every 1's selling there ...If every 1's selling there Honda's how can it be such a great car ??! I dont get it ??!
DohaSteve said
r7 .... totally agree with you ...doesn't the fact that all of these people are trying to get rid of Hondas indicate a certain level of crappiness?

THE CHEAPEST SPARE PARTS ...Which car among top four has the cheapest spare part available ?
Live and let live...
DaRuDe said
Honda?? ...ah such a cheap car thats why i never liked it
britexpat said
Good work. Could it be that ...Good work. Could it be that people buy Hondas and then sell them because they don't come up to expectations?
Afaque said
most popular does not mean ...most popular does not mean that its the best! Japanese cars have a good resale values and cheaper maintainance but they cannot beat the comfort and driving pleasure of american brands.
qatari said
lies, damn lies and statistics ...I think one thing is clear - Honda is definitely amongst the top three which is something that no one really knew (Toyota and Nissan are traditionally thought the front runners).
Now it could mean more people are selling their Hondas or that Hondas don't sell that well. But let's agree that :
1. Hondas are known to make pretty reliable engines
2. expatriates don't just keep buying and selling cars every year. They buy the car and hang on to it until they leave Qatar.
Of course, as Disraeli said there are lies, damn lies and statistics. Read what you will into the numbers - they are wide open to interpretation.

Now who on earth is ...Now who on earth is comparing Toyata with Honda....
No engine can beat Honda's innovative approach.... they are the first to launch V-TEC Toyota copied and came up with same style VVT engine after almost 5 years...
Toyota has just one good car in their range and that is Land Cruiser... rest you cant compare with Honda...
Infact ... its not fair to compare Honda with Toyota...
see specs below....

Toyota vs. Honda ...The comparison is great. I'm sure am convinced that Honda is a good car (even before). But how much is the price?
Do you have that in consideration?
salax85 said
ACTUALLY, this data is ...ACTUALLY, this data is biased to the forum topic. this does not indicate popularity but instead shows the most traded brand of USED cars.
Honda being on top of the list, would mean more customers willing to sell it.
Toyota on 2nd would simply resemble the number of toyotas in doha available for trading.
and honda, nissan and toyota topping the list shows the most bought brands in Qatar as they are also traded once bought.
soft2007 said
I have driven both Honda ...I have driven both Honda civic and Toyota corolla. From my personal experience, I rate corolla better than civic. Smooth and reliable.
But I accept that Toyota customer service is not good here in Qatar.
salax85 said
personally i like toyota ...personally i like toyota better than honda, coz honda shapes (the new civic is an exception) are not appealing to me. and honda vehicles like mrv, crv.. y do they even manufacture them lol. ofcourse honda legend is something.
soft2007 said
If more new Toyota cars sold ...If more new Toyota cars sold than Honda, but more resale cars comes to the market from Honda, how to interpret this?
r7 said
Not all Expat's hang to cars ...Not all Expat's hang to cars there whole time here :)
Ive had 3 cars in the past 4 years !!!
I think people expect a lot when buying a Honda and then the cars come up short.. I think they are too overpriced !! Like the new accord which goes above 100 g's... I would prefer a Dodge or a Ford anyday. I think in Japanese Nissan are the best from what i have driven so far !!

I doubt that it's most ...I doubt that it's most wanted, its the other way round, people want to get rid of it, that's y its in classifieds right?

i think toyota being traded ...i think toyota being traded second is due to the resale value of toyota giving option to go for the lates model. Honda agreed has a good engine but leaving that, Toyota anytime has a lasting performance.

wishfull thinking ...honda may have more olive cars in the world than any other maker. honda may have more 26" rimmed sports cars than anyone else. honda may be the only car to ........
What do we care? Indian subcontinental expatriates flair for honda.. Something I dont understand. No flexibility when it comes to spares and dealers. Very expensive parts. Some of the entry level models are ridiculously cheapish in quality.
More expatriates trying to offload their honda via ql because they hoping for the best. Every fibre of them hoping that they can sell it for some thing REASONABLE. End of the day if it is not for "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" bit, honda simply doesnt attract good resale prize tags.
Like I said
Wishfull thinking.

whatta come back ...whatta come back salax....
Honda being re traded due to poor performance and heavy maintenance and Toyota for good resale value.... LOLzzzz
Xyned... I'm an Indian... In Delhi u will find more Civics than Corollas, more Accords than Camrys and of course at every spot a Honda City...

Do u believe... India is just limited to Kerala???
